Just Got My MPC And ....

But theres like patches of white flaking happening underneath the MPC around the screws and the metal cover (underneath) .. Should I be worried?

Anyone please help me out as this has got me paranoid. Thx, Phar.

should be kewl unless it doesnt work..

i would say its da paint.....but datz outtta da picture!...umm...just wipe da bottom of ya mpc off..and da surface its on........see if da flakez come back

Did you buy it used? I'm guessing you did.

Do the flakes look like the paint on the MPC's case?

Has it recently had anything new fitted inside?

If it looks like paint from around the screw holes maybe whoever you bought it from looked inside to check everything before selling it.........& scratched things up a bit.

Kind of sounds like oxidation to me, was the MPC stored in a cool or damp area?

If you are comfortable openning it up I would. Just inspect the PCBs and connectors to make sure there is no major crusties or oxidation going on. Finding a problem now and correcting it is better than finding one when you need the machine.

could be corn flakes, from banging that ish over breakfast.

The MPC is like brand new, its only been used once. The person that owned it before ... only upgraded the memory and left it alone for like 2 years!!

Im going to check inside its THIS weekend and ill keep you lot posted. Phar.
